Adrienne’s response may surprise you!

“They are cutting contracts all around. I mean everybody has to bite the bullet. It’s not like anyone gets special treatment,” says the ballsy Frantz, who plays Amber Moore on Y&R. “If you don’t want to play fair with everyone, then don’t play. If you want to step out…. everybody is dealing with the same stuff,” Adrienne continued. “So if anybody thinks they are better than anyone else, then they should leave if they want to. It’s a cast. We are all working together. We are all working our hardest to make it go, and if you don’t want to work with everyone than you are not helping. “
